Natasha's Unease

In fact, Xia Yu understood Odin's thoughts very well. After all, she was his own daughter, and he certainly didn't want her to die if he could keep her alive.

Looking at Odin, whose face was full of pleading and whose hair was white, he saw him.

Xia Yu sighed.

"Uncle, What If...? —and I mean What If...? —I married Hela, and she and Asgard remained safe and sound, then what price would Asgard pay for the Ragnarok you mentioned, which is destined to come? Thor? Loki? Or all of Asgard?"

According to the theory Odin had previously discussed with Xia Yu, Ragnarok was inevitable, and Asgard's Source could not be preserved. The reason Thor and Xia Yu became sworn brothers was that having Xia Yu by his side would allow Asgard to retain more power.

But that doesn't mean Ragnarok won't happen.

Odin paused for a moment, his mind wandering.

He faked being ambushed by Loki and was exiled to Earth.

The first reason was to use the last of their power to seal Hela, since Earth is relatively close to Hell.

Secondly, it was also so that he could spend his final years on Earth reminiscing about the past. In Asgard, he had to appear as the All-Father, but on Earth, he could be just an ordinary old man, a father.

These past few days have probably been the most relaxed period Odin has had in thousands of years; he has been thinking about many, many things.

He had been conquering the universe since his youth, determined to establish Asgard's reputation and have Hela lead the army to sweep across the cosmos.

He was thinking about preparing for the next generation to continue standing at the pinnacle of the universe, so that his daughter could be a qualified successor to the throne, and that the entire universe would tremble in fear under the name of Asgard.

In short, Odin raised Hela to be a ruthless ruler, and it can be said that Hela's personality was shaped by Odin himself.

He was the one who shaped Hela's ambition and personality, and he also gave Hela her Source power, but he later discovered that his ideas when he was young were wrong.

Therefore, Odin was filled with immense regret.

That's why this request was suddenly made to Xia Yu.

As the All-Father, he had to suppress Hela, but as a father, he hoped his daughter could live a normal life. Although this wish was difficult, what if Xia Yu could create a miracle?

So when he was thinking about this, he was really just acting as a father, trying to plan a path for his daughter. But Xia Yu's reminder made Odin realize what was going on.

"Uncle, would you like Thor to come and keep you company, or why don't you come back to New York with me?"

Seeing that Odin remained silent, Xia Yu knew that he had given up on the idea of letting Hela marry him.

"No need, Xia. You're a good boy, it's a pity. Build me a little house here, and don't tell Thor. Go to Asgard and beat Loki up, so he won't do anything messy on the throne."

After Odin finished speaking, he waved to Xia Yu.

"Go away, and don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Okay."

Xia Yu readily agreed and turned to leave.

Although the old man passed away first, he looked pitiful, all alone.

But acting on a whim is terrifying. What was Hela thinking, marrying him?

Thinking of Hela in Hell, covered in stinky tofu and chasing him with twin swords, sporting a tacky, punk-style hairstyle, Xia Yu couldn't help but shudder.

That's fucking terrifying.

As soon as he stepped into his room at the base, he saw Natasha sitting on the sofa, smiling at him.

"Looks like I'll have to keep a closer eye on you from now on. I thought you were sleeping in your room, but I don't even know where you sneaked off to?"

Natasha stood up, slowly walked to Xia Yu's side, stood close to Xia Yu, and spoke softly and gently.

"Tell me, what kind of hot beauty made my man use a teleportation portal to meet her?"

Xia Yu knew Natasha too well; she was just flirting with him. But Xia Yu's mind was filled with Hela, Hell, the punk hairstyle, and stinky tofu; he had no time for such thoughts.

"Ugh!~!~!"

Xia Yu let out a long sigh, picked up Natasha, and plopped down on the sofa.

"What happened?"

Natasha sensed that Xia Yu was preoccupied, so she gently pecked Xia Yu lips and asked softly.

Xia Yu didn't hide anything from Natasha, explaining in detail how Odin wanted him to be his son-in -Natasha law, and even why Odin was currently on Earth.

Natasha was completely dumbfounded by the family's complicated history and conflicts.

"Sure enough, whether it's a human or a god, as long as royalty is involved, family matters are bound to be a mess."

"But marrying Hela wouldn't be bad either. She's the Queen of Asgard, don't you feel even a little bit tempted?"

'Snap!'

Xia Yu slapped Natasha's bottom hard.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have no interest in the king, and even less interest in Hela. I just feel a little sad that Odin, who once dominated the universe, is in this state."

"Yes, they're thousands of years old. Thor is over a thousand. I've been forgetting something all along."

Natasha turned around and sat on Xia Yu's lap, facing Xia Yu directly, with her arms around Xia Yu neck.

"Thor is already over a thousand years old and can live for thousands more. Odin hopes you will marry his daughter. Could you also live for thousands more?"

"It seems like it should be possible," Xia Yu replied honestly.

Natasha was unhappy. She envied the long lifespan, but what if, after a few more years, Xia Yu was still the same, while she was old and faded, even with white hair?

Just watch Xia Yu find someone else? Even if he doesn't, just watch yourself grow old little by little?

Natasha became increasingly horrified by the thought. It would be better to separate from Xia Yu in the future and let him go find Hela or some long-lived race in the universe. After all, it's impossible for ordinary humans to accompany him for his entire life.

Then I'll wait until the day when I start to have more and more wrinkles on my face, and then I'll leave him completely.

'Bang!'

Xia Yu gently tapped Natasha's head.

"I can tell you're overthinking things. Don't worry, I'll find a way to make you live as long as me, and you won't age, silly girl."

"Really?" Natasha was overjoyed, but still a little skeptical.

"Truly, the wonders of this universe far exceed your imagination. Sooner or later, I will master these amazing powers."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he gave Natasha a deep kiss.

Not just Natasha, he will change the fate of the entire Avengers.

To grant everyone a long, even permanent, life.

May the Avengers forever stand at the pinnacle of the universe.
